Beyoncé announced the news via Knowles’ official website and stated that the award is geared toward female students,

“who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident.”

One scholarship will be awarded to a lucky student from each of the participating schools during the 2017-2018 school year.
